Vladimir Murzin 046835b4aa ARM: 8757/1: NOMMU: Support PMSAv8 MPU
ARMv8R/M architecture defines new memory protection scheme - PMSAv8
which is not compatible with PMSAv7.

Key differences to PMSAv7 are:
 - Region geometry is defined by base and limit addresses
 - Addresses need to be either 32 or 64 byte aligned
 - No region priority due to overlapping regions are not allowed
 - It is unified, i.e. no distinction between data/instruction regions
 - Memory attributes are controlled via MAIR

This patch implements support for PMSAv8 MPU defined by ARMv8R/M
architecture.

Nicolas Pitre b54290e51a ARM: simplify and fix linker script for TCM
Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for
a separately freed memory area.

Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more
confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by
using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.

Lots of duplications between vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux-xip.lds.S.
This may lead to one file being updated but not the other. For example,
SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT and HYPERVISOR_TEXT were missing from the XIP version.

This creates vmlinux.lds.h where a bunch of common defines are moved.

Russell King c608906165 ARM: probes: avoid adding kprobes to sensitive kernel-entry/exit code
Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region.  This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.

Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Nicolas Pitre 861e37da6a ARM: vmlinux.lds.S: replace open coded .data sections with generic macros
Our .data section is missing PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() which contains,
amongst other things, the vdso page. This creates a System.map that
looks like this:

c15769a8 D _edata
c1577000 d vdso_data_store
c1578000 D __start___bug_table
c1580544 D __stop___bug_table
c1580544 B __bss_start

By using RW_DATA_SECTION() we pick whatever generic sections might be
added in the future and have page-aligned data next to other strongly
aligned data. Furthermore we now include the entire thing, including the
bug table, in the data accounting surrounded by _sdata/_edata.

While at it let's also remplace the open coded .init.data by its
equivalent INIT_DATA_SECTION().

Peter Zijlstra b5effd3815 debug: Fix __bug_table[] in arch linker scripts
The kbuild test robot reported this build failure on a number

 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__start___bug_table'
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__stop___bug_table'

Caused by:

  19d436268d ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

Chris Metcalf 6727ad9e20 nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

DEBUG_RODATA code, which is only used when the MMU is enabled,
but the definition fails on !MMU builds:

arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:702: undefined symbol `SECTION_SHIFT' referenced in expression

This hides the symbol whenever DEBUG_RODATA is disabled.

Kees Cook 64ac2e74f0 ARM: 8502/1: mm: mark section-aligned portion of rodata NX
When rodata is large enough that it crosses a section boundary after the
kernel text, mark the rest NX. This is as close to full NX of rodata as
we can get without splitting page tables or doing section alignment via
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA.

When the config is:

 CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
 # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set

Ard Biesheuvel 31b96cae5c ARM: 8515/2: move .vectors and .stubs sections back into the kernel VMA
Commit b9b32bf70f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
updated the linker script to emit the .vectors and .stubs sections into a
VMA range that is zero based and disjoint from the normal static kernel
region. The reason for that was that this way, the sections can be placed
exactly 4 KB apart, while the payload of the .vectors section is only 32
bytes.

Since the symbols that are part of the .stubs section are emitted into the
kallsyms table, they appear with zero based addresses as well, e.g.,

  00001004 t vector_rst
  00001020 t vector_irq
  000010a0 t vector_dabt
  00001120 t vector_pabt
  000011a0 t vector_und
  00001220 t vector_addrexcptn
  00001240 t vector_fiq
  00001240 T vector_fiq_offset

As this confuses perf when it accesses the kallsyms tables, commit
7122c3e915 ("scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for
arm") implemented a somewhat ugly special case for ARM, where the value
of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is passed to scripts/kallsyms, and symbols whose
addresses are below it are filtered out. Note that this special case only
applies to CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=n, not because the issue the patch addresses
exists only in that case, but because finding a limit below which to apply
the filtering is not entirely straightforward.

Since the .vectors and .stubs sections contain position independent code
that is never executed in place, we can emit it at its most likely runtime
VMA (for more recent CPUs), which is 0xffff0000 for the vector table and
0xffff1000 for the stubs. Not only does this fix the perf issue with
kallsyms, allowing us to drop the special case in scripts/kallsyms
entirely, it also gives debuggers a more realistic view of the address
space, and setting breakpoints or single stepping through code in the
vector table or the stubs is more likely to work as expected on CPUs that
use a high vector address. E.g.,

  00001240 A vector_fiq_offset
  ...
  c0c35000 T __init_begin
  c0c35000 T __vectors_start
  c0c35020 T __stubs_start
  c0c35020 T __vectors_end
  c0c352e0 T _sinittext
  c0c352e0 T __stubs_end
  ...
  ffff1004 t vector_rst
  ffff1020 t vector_irq
  ffff10a0 t vector_dabt
  ffff1120 t vector_pabt
  ffff11a0 t vector_und
  ffff1220 t vector_addrexcptn
  ffff1240 T vector_fiq

(Note that vector_fiq_offset is now an absolute symbol, which kallsyms
already ignores by default)

The LMA footprint is identical with or without this change, only the VMAs
are different:

Chris Brandt 538bf46948 ARM: 8513/1: xip: Move XIP linking to a separate file
When building an XIP kernel, the linker script needs to be much different
than a conventional kernel's script. Over time, it's been difficult to
maintain both XIP and non-XIP layouts in one linker script. Therefore,
this patch separates the two procedures into two completely different
files.

The new linker script is essentially a straight copy of the current script
with all the non-CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions removed.

Additionally, all CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions have been removed from the
existing linker script...never to return again.

It should be noted that this does not fix any current XIP issues, but
rather is the first move in fixing them properly with subsequent patches.

Kees Cook 25362dc496 ARM: 8501/1: mm: flip priority of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
The use of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is generally seen as an essential part of
kernel self-protection:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2015/11/30/13
Additionally, its name has grown to mean things beyond just rodata. To
get ARM closer to this, we ought to rearrange the names of the configs
that control how the kernel protects its memory. What was called
CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS is realy doing the work that other architectures
call CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

This redefines CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to actually do the bulk of the
ROing (and NXing). In the place of the old CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, use
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA, since that's what the option does: adds
section alignment for making rodata explicitly NX, as arm does not split
the page tables like arm64 does without _ALIGN_RODATA.

Also adds human readable names to the sections so I could more easily
debug my typos, and makes CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA default "y" for CPU_V7.

Results in /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for each config state:

 # CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set

So instead, rewrite the expression so that only the section

are used. Note that this reverts the fix in 06f75a1f62

Commit 06f75a1f62 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce

KVM init code to a log2 upper bound of its size. However,
this function turns out to be a fairly recent addition to

So instead, implement a replacement LOG2_ROUNDUP() using
the C preprocessor.

Ard Biesheuvel 06f75a1f62 ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page
The HYP init bounce page is a runtime construct that ensures that the
HYP init code does not cross a page boundary. However, this is something
we can do perfectly well at build time, by aligning the code appropriately.

For arm64, we just align to 4 KB, and enforce that the code size is less
than 4 KB, regardless of the chosen page size.

For ARM, the whole code is less than 256 bytes, so we tweak the linker
script to align at a power of 2 upper bound of the code size

Note that this also fixes a benign off-by-one error in the original bounce
page code, where a bounce page would be allocated unnecessarily if the code
was exactly 1 page in size.

On ARM, it also fixes an issue with very large kernels reported by Arnd
Bergmann, where stub sections with linker emitted veneers could erroneously
trigger the size/alignment ASSERT() in the linker script.

Marc Zyngier 0394e1f605 ARM: KVM: enforce maximum size for identity mapped code
We're about to move to an init procedure where we rely on the
fact that the init code fits in a single page. Make sure we
align the idmap text on a vector alignment, and that the code is
not bigger than a single page.

Christoffer Dall 9e9a367c29 ARM: Section based HYP idmap
Add a method (hyp_idmap_setup) to populate a hyp pgd with an
identity mapping of the code contained in the .hyp.idmap.text
section.

Offer a method to drop this identity mapping through
hyp_idmap_teardown.

Make all the above depend on CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT and CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.

Pawel Moll dad5451a32 ARM: 7605/1: vmlinux.lds: Move .notes section next to the rodata
The .notes, being read-only data by nature, were placed between
read-write .data and .bss. This was harmful in case of the XIP
kernel, as being placed in the RAM range, most likely far
from the ROM address, was inflating the XIP images.

Moving the .notes at the end of the read-only section
(consisting of .text, .rodata and unwind info) fixes the problem.

Stephen Boyd ee951c630c ARM: 7568/1: Sort exception table at compile time
Add the ARM machine identifier to sortextable and select the
config option so that we can sort the exception table at compile
time. sortextable relies on a section named __ex_table existing
in the vmlinux, but ARM's linker script places the exception
table in the data section. Give the exception table its own
section so that sortextable can find it.

This allows us to skip the sorting step during boot.

David Brown 9973290ce2 ARM: 7428/1: Prevent KALLSYM size mismatch on ARM.
ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error:

    Inconsistent kallsyms data
    This is a bug - please report about it
    Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround

The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker.
The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel
without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols
included.  Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing
their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same
result.

On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty.  Depending on the where the
alignment ends up, it can come out as either:

   +-------------------+
   | last text segment |
   +-------------------+
   /* padding */
   +-------------------+     <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
   | per cpu (empty)   |
   +-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
   /* padding */
__data_loc:
   +-------------------+     <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
   | data              |
   +-------------------+

or

   +-------------------+
   | last text segment |
   +-------------------+
   /* padding */
   +-------------------+     <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
   | per cpu (empty)   |
   +-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
   /* no padding */
__data_loc:
   +-------------------+     <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
   | data              |
   +-------------------+

if the alignment satisfies both.  Because symbols that have the same
address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different
order than the first case.  This changes the compression, changing the
size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure.

The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still
possible to have the alignment change between the second and third
pass.  It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint.

The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty,
and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the
text segments).  Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on
SMP, when it is not empty.

Marc Zyngier b8b9987ffd ARM: 7320/1: Fix proc_info table alignment
With an admittedly exotic choice of configuration options
(CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, THUMB2, some other size-minimizing ones)
and compiler, the proc_info table can end up being misaligned,
and the kernel being unbootable (Error: unrecognized/unsupported
processor variant).

Forcing the alignement to 4 bytes in the linker script fixes the
issue.

Will Deacon 972da06470 ARM: 7290/1: vmlinux.lds.S: align the exception fixup table to a 4-byte boundary
The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary.
Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry
structures contain only a pair of unsigned longs, so 4-byte alignment
is all that is required. If the table was walked from start to end,
cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a
binary search is used, the access pattern is random and will not benefit
from a stricter alignment.

The linker script assumes a cacheline size of 32 bytes when aligning

This patch updates the script to use L1_CACHE_BYTES, which should be set

Will Deacon 8903826d0c ARM: idmap: populate identity map pgd at init time using .init.text
When disabling and re-enabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out an
identity mapping for the code that manipulates the SCTLR in order to
avoid it disappearing from under our feet. This is useful when soft
rebooting and returning from CPU suspend.

This patch allocates a set of page tables during boot and populates them
with an identity mapping for the .idmap.text section. This means that
users of the identity map do not need to manage their own pgd and can
instead annotate their functions with __idmap or, in the case of assembly
code, place them in the correct section.
